Energy costs many times what it did too

Perhaps for the consumer, not for the energy providers

What costs more? Gas or wind? Oil or solar? Coal or wave?

There's a premium charged for new technology, sure. To cover R&D costs, new tooling, etc, but once the machinery is made, the fuel is essentially free. The wind blows itself, the sun has its own fuel, the tides move freely

Energy arbitrarily costs more because those that sell it have decided it costs more. Aka corporate greed, which is what this post is complaining about in the first.

What a strange story. First, they call the middle of Lidl infamous, not famous. What's infamous about it?

Second, they do a mass product recall because of one complaint? They claim the product has had stringent testing and has sold for years in Europe without issue, but they recall it due to one complaint?

If the complaint is legitimate, then this is a good thing, but I just can't wrap my head around their claim of stringent testing and crumbling at the merest mention of an issue. I also don't understand what the issue with the igloos really is, they appear no less dangerous than a fence or hedge

It is when you're trying to run a pyramid scheme. How else are those at the top expected to stay there if they don't have a large foundation of exploitable young minds?

Fuck the owners, grow food, grow community.

GrowVeg on YouTube is a great resource, but there's hundreds, thousands, of people teaching gardening all over the place.

Don't have a boring patch of grass in your garden that does nothing for you, for biodiversity, or for your community. That's what the aristocracy did to show off how much land they have and how rich they are that it doesn't even need to be productive. We don't need that arrogance.

Grow carrots, tomatoes, strawberries, onions, cabbage, you'd be surprised how many varieties there are that you would think don't exist looking in the supermarkets.

Be punk, grow food.

Russia has been invaded plenty of times

With F-16s, HIMARS, and drones?

Modern warfare isn't the same as Germany in WW2.

I generally play on difficulty 6. It felt the right balance of difficulty, sample rewards, and enjoyment, for me.

I've been playing since release, so I'm a pretty high level now, and difficulty 6 was just starting to feel a bit too easy, and I was considering bumping up to level 7 as my standard difficulty.

Then this update came out, and I'm lucky to make it out of a level 6 alive! It's very teammate dependent and I find the quality of teammates has significantly degraded. That could be due to a higher percentage of school kids playing vs adults I guess, as it's the summer holidays, but it doesn't make it any less annoying.

Basically, people need to communicate more and remember it's a coop game. Ping the Bile Titans, Chargers, Impalers, there's others on the team that can help. Tagging where you're going on the map helps everyone coordinate. Microphones are not required, I use mine only when an in-game communication method isn't available or I'm being swarmed but still need to say something, probably about once every two games.

I don't enjoy the missions as much as I did before the update, and I think a lot of the blame rests on Arrowhead's shoulders but the user-base also needs to step up and learn to cooperate more in this cooperative game. Don't one-man-army a bile titan, don't ignore teammates that have found a bunker door, work together to increase your odds of survival, success, super credits, samples, and ultimately, fun.

On PlayStation you can hold R1 and use the left stick to point at the 4 o'clock position and your character will say "Thank you".

Much faster than typing on a controller
